Description

The Reynold’s Brook Trail is a 0.8-mile re-surfaced gravel road through northern hardwoods forest. This road ends at the Reynold’s Brook picnic site and boat launch used by the Maine Outdoor Education Program. Cobscook Shores maintains picnic tables at the end of the trail where Reynold’s Brook meets the Orange River. The hand-carry boat launch provides access to the Orange River Water Trail (open July & August).

Other Information

The Reynold's Brook Trail is open dawn to dusk, from May to October. The boat launch is open July and August only, to avoid disturbing spring nesting waterfowl.

The Reynold's Brook Trail is a part of Cobscook Shores, a system of fifteen waterfront parks that are privately owned and/or maintained by Cobscook Shores INC., a family funded Maine charitable foundation. The parklands offer public access and recreational use including walking, picnicking, hiking, biking, camping, and paddling in Cobscook Bay.
